In the injured sciatic nerve, blood-derived monocytes and macrophages eat dying leukocytes, thereby contributing to nerve debridement and inflammation resolution, and this correlates with neuronal regeneration.
Live-cell single-molecule tracking reveals that hierarchical cooperation within the Polycomb Cbx7 protein between the low-affinity H3K27me3-binding module and the high-affinity DNA-binding cassette targets Polycomb repressive complex 1 to chromatin.

C. elegans nematodes use a sensory-neuronal circuit to determine whether to defend themselves from hydrogen peroxide attack or to freeload off orthologous protective defenses from bacteria in their surrounding environment.
The design and validation of an oligo-based DNA FISH library that targets the entire Caenorhabditis elegans genome at chromosome, three megabase, and 500 kb scales.

The deposition of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine epigenetic marks in active genes promotes the annealing of the nascent RNA to the template DNA strand, forming an R-loop.
Expression of the isolated voltage sensing domain significantly alters its structural conformation as well as its gating kinetics, indicating the importance of studying the biological assembly in its entirety.
The planar polarized organization of vestibular hair cells in the mouse inner ear is determined by the coordinated activities of the STK32A kinase and the transcription factor EMX2 to regulate the orphan receptor GPR156.
Mammalian germ layer differentiation is characterized by transitions through discrete cell states, which are transcriptionally as well as functionally distinct.
